Considerable merriment, however, was excited by the dis covery that the place chosen for isolating the witness was a small room immediately behind the magisterial bench, from which he commanded a full view of all that passed in court. When this anomaly had been rectified and the discussion terminated, the witness was re-admitted, and stated that after the conversation with the gentleman at Calais he went on board the Rappahannock. He asked for employment as a boiler-maker, and got it. Mr. Ramsay was present, also a lady, and Jinno was not far off. Witness was on board in all from the 9th November till the 25th December, in two separate engagements. He came away because they wanted him every day to sign articles, and he did not wish to do so. There was something about the colour of the flag he did not like—it was an American one. Believed it to be the Con federate, but did not know much about the difference. Would swear that he did not know it at the time to be a Confederate flag. Mr. Giffard objected to the counsel for the prosecution cross-examining his own witness. . . _ - Mr. Twopenny said that, in the unanimous opinion of the Bench, the manner in which the witness had given his answers was such as to make them regard him as an adverse witness. The witness, in continuation, said he had been offered two £5 notes if he would sign articles, but refused to do so. The captain read over articles to three of them —they wanted him to fight, he supposed. Having heard the articles would still swear that he did not know to which nation the vessel belonged ; forgot what the captain said at the time; he did not pencil it down. If he wanted to fight he would do so in the English service, not the American. It would put his head together again to say how long ago the articles were raad Over to all hands. Witness would have nothing to do with their Government, and persuaded all the others to refuse to sign. In cross-examination the witness manifested even greater reluctance to give direct answers to Mr. Giffard, who ob served that witness had at least shown his impartiality. Was first asked to give evidence in Woolwich on Thursday week, by one who went in the name of O'Kelly. The Soli citor to the Treasury took down his statement on Tuesday last, Had previously spoken to several persons ; could not say to whom, for he had been drinking lately. Where he got the drink from was his own business; he got no money, but Mr. O'Kelly gave him drink. O'Kelly was a shipping master, who told him to stop from his vessel, a coal screw, which was to sail from London, and he would be paid for his time. Did not ask what he was to be paid ; but O'Kelly lent him small sums-7s. in all. He also got half a sove reign and a piece of paper in his hand, when he was told to remain. Expected ss. a day and something a night for so long as he remained. O'Kelly took him into the Mitre and gave him as much drink as he liked, and 'bacca ; and he was happy to receive it. (Laughter.) Also went with him to Genoa's, a beershop ; to 26, Minories, London, where he had ale and soup, not at his own expense ; to Poplar and other places. Was not aware whether he went to any office or place to see the American authorities. Had served for. four years in her Majesty's ship Brisk as fireman. James Mulowny said he had been engaged as fireman on board the Scylla by Mr. Rumble. The first payment of 3s was made by Mr. Howe, and for the next week I Is. was paid him by Mr, Rumble at his own house. When the vessel left Sheerness she was not in a seaworthy state; every tube in the boiler was bursting. The rigging was not complete, and no sails were bent. There were some new hammocks on board. After leaving Sheerness the Confede. rate flag was hoisted, and the captain came aboard and read articles, but Lone of the crew would join. Witness left two days after the ship arrived in Calais. Saw Mr. Rumble on Calais-quay, and witness and Brooks asked him for a job at boiler-making, and ha said, " Yes, go and work on board the ship with the boiler-makers." That was the same ship. Remained on board 14 days. The captain only paid him for eight days' work, and witness applied to Mr, Rumble for the balance; but he denied having hired him in the country. On returning to England witness applied at Mr. Rumble's house and said he would summon him for the rest of the money. Mr. Rumble appointed to meet him at the Fountain at 12 o'clock, but did not keep his word. The same afternoon he went to his house, and Mrs. Rumble gave him a sovereign in the presence of her hus band. In consequence of what he heard witness afterwards went to Mr. Howe and received from him the sum of £1 8s Bd, and then took back to Mr. Rumble the sovereign he had advanced him until he received his wages. Mr. Howe was landlord of the Fountain. The witness was cross-examined at length concerning what passed when the sovereign was advanced, but per sisted in representing that the transaction was not a loan. Mr. Rumble told him it was a pity he had not seen Mr. Brown, the owner of the ship, but ho said Mr. Rumble had employed him, and to him he should look for payment. The witness at first stated that no one had been aware what evi. donee he was to give that day, but afterwards modified that assertion, limiting his statement to the details of the pecu niary transaction. Had served in the British navy, and was dismissed the service for taking leave. Was three years on board the Emerald. George Bailey, boilermaker, went from Sheerness to Ca lais to work upon the Rappahannock, in consequence of two fellow-workmen named Joseph Williams and Thos• Giffard asking him to do so. A Mr. Bagshaw took them all three to Mr. Rumble's house, and they waited outside while he went in When he came out he gave Giffard three £5 notes, and told them they had 14 days' leave to do a 10 drys' job. They went to Calais next day, eight in all. Mr. Rumble was on board the packet in which they crossed, and ho imagined he went to Calais also ; at least the boat did not stop till it got there. (Laughter.) The boilers Ns ere in a very bad state. It would have taken two months to repair them with the quickest and best tools. Mr. Giffard objected to this line of examination as quite irrelevant to the present inquiry, though it might be in tended to shield her Majesty's Government by showing the state in which vessels had been sold by them. Mr. Harcourt denied that he was influenced by any ulterior motives in putting the questions. The witness said that the job not being satisfactory to him he returned to Dover, when ho was sent for into the waiting room of the railway, and found Mr. Rumble and a lady sitting at the fire. Mr. Rumble asked what made him leave the ship, and he replied that the job was not accord ing to the agreement made with him at Sheerness, and also because the provisions were not satisfactory to him. Mr. Rumble said if he did not like living on board he could live on shore, and offered him £lO to go back by the night boat to Calais, Witness refused to do so, having a ticket for Sheerness, and wishing to see his wife. Ho asked Mr. Rumble whether his leave at the dockyard was all right, and he said he knew nothing at all about it, In cross-examination the witness said O'Kelly had come to the dockyard after him last Tuesday, but he refused to give him any information about Calais. He had only seen O'Kelly three times in all. William Ellis, John Good, and Joseph Williams, boiler makers, who had also gone to Calais, gave evidence of a like character. They concurred in the assertion that for the first few days the ship had not any flag flying ; after that the Confederate flag was h oisted. Charles Newton, a witness, betraying symptoms of un steadiness, and to whom intervals of reflection were twice affordedcia o to by the a is . bench,rrh s t e tc enable ytaa ep him to elect between being sworn peed that he went with the Scylla read the ship's articles to r going ca into ocustody, oadp,d him, and told him she was a Confederate man-of-war—he country, and the crew for money.

C ro s s -examined—Never was in a man-of- war i n hi s lif e . TheDi d notdry know go o goods were what a o magazine a n d shell room " were. m ilk and such like. (Laughter.) Richard Spendrift had shippe d on board th e S c yll a the to the mate of the vessel. Afterwards he s aw Mr. Ru mble on board looking f day or a s she character, left Sheerness, which h and e gave before in a dott g asked M r . R um ble t e after the Government stores. The name of the vessel was changed on the passage to Calais. The boilers were very bad, only three of the six were in working order, and the vessel was not in a fit state to go to sea. There were what wit ness understood to be fighting boilers on board the Scylla ; at first he stated these not to have been in fighting order, but afterwards reversed this statement. Had been 17 years and seven months in the navy. In the Scylla hammock hooks were in their places for swinging about 1.50 hammocks. Did not see any hammocks but those the men slept in going over. A new captain came on board at Calais, ordered up all hands, and told them it was a Confederate man-of-war. He informed the crew that the prize money was to go forward. He did not say what the ship was to do, or where it was to cruise ; but told them he had been chief mate of the Alabama. Witness left in five or six days afterwards. Wm. O'Kelly was the next witness. He described him self as an American shipping agent, Whose business it was to procure seamen for American vessels. Last November, understanding that there was a vessel at Sheerness requir ing his servi ces he went there, but found she had gon e . Ho accosted Mr. Rumble, saying that he knew some goo d men who wanted to go in the Scylla. Mr. Rumble said he was too late, but asked could the witness get good men, adding that about 20 would be required. He referred witness to Mr. Coleman's office, 9, Clement's-lane, Lombard -street, for par ticulars, and on the Saturday following saw him there. Mr Rumble said, " There is nothing doing at present, but if you call again Mr. Pearson will let you know." On the Tuesday after he again saw him, and said, " Mr. Rumble, I understand you aro sending men over -----there are some went on last night," to which Mr. Rumble replied, " I have nothing• to do with the ship now, it was bought by Mr. C o l eman f rom M r. P ears on. M r . P earson is a bank rupt, and cannot make a purchase, but as they are brOthera. in-law, Mr. Coleman purchased this ship for him." Wit ness then asked who had to do with the ship. He said, " Capt. Campbell, then in Calais." Witness said, "I have a good mind to go over and see Captain Campbell," and Mr. Rumble replied, " Well, I would go if I were you"—rather in a bantering tone. Witness rejoined, "I will go if I can raise the money," and defendant said, " Why don't you go ?" They then parted. Witness went that night to Calais, and next morning went alongside the ship Rappa hannock; she had no colours hoisted then, as it was before o'clock—she had no colours hoisted that day. At 11 o'clock the same day alongside the Rappahannock witness met Mr. Rumble in company with Mr. Ramsay, the chief officer of the ship. He asked me (said the witness) what I was doing there, I said I came according to his advice. He said, "Now, are you honest F" I said, " Certainly." He observed, pointing to Mr. Ramsay, " This is the man who got me into all this trouble." I said, "There is no more trouble now; she is in a French port." He said, "Right; now we don't care who knows it." He then said to Mr. Ramsay, "This is the man that can find us a crew. Mr. Ramsay said, "He had better see the first lieutenant." I said, "No, I want to see Captain Campbell himself." The witness described his meeting with Captain Campbell, who told him he should not want a crew for six weeks ; and next deposed to the following conversation as having been originated by Mr. Rumble:— He said, "Now, can I depend upon you ?" I said, "Certainly." He said, "We thought you belonged to the other party." I told him, " No, I be long to no party." He then said, " She will want 40 men." I said, "More like 100." He remarked, " This is a money making affair." I said, " I know it is, if it is properly worked." He said, "We will work together." I said, " Certainly ; share and share alike." He then inquired, "What are you going to do now?" I said, "I am going to London by the next boat, as I consider my business here as done." He said, "It is done; leave dverything else to me." And he proposed to meet me at Pearson's office at 10 o'clock on Saturday. I went to Mr. Pearson's office, but I did not see Mr. Rumble there or again till to .day. I was taken ill on the following Sunday and continued very ill for three weeks. He gave me a sovereign just before I left Calais. Cross. examined—When he gave me the sovereign I told him that I had nine children, I also told him I was very poor. I have been a shipping master for American ships since 1853. I am of Irish extraction, but I hail from London —can I swear where I was born ? I believe I was born in Limerick, but have no recollection of my mother country. I live at No, 5, Havering-street, London—place of business, No. 5, High-street, Shadwell. Before 1853 I was a master tailor, carrying on business at 15, Banks-place, New-road, for three or four years, under the same name. I never had any other. Before this I was for seven years a journeyman tailor, working at Stultz's, Hujee's, and Cartwright's. For three years I was manager and head foreman of Dunn's Tailor Labour Agency, Newington-causeway, London. Be fore that I was a little boy, (Laughter.) lam now about 48 years of age. After seeing Mr. Rumble I stayed in Sheer ness till 2 o'clock; daring the interval I telegraphed. I should not know the place again, nor yet the name of the person to whom I telegraphed ; I believe it was to a Mr. Gifford. I got no answer. I was accompanied by a friend, a London pilot. Ido not remember his name. In speaking to Mr. Rumble I did not give my own name. I gave him that of Williams. I never previously passed by any other false name. I saw they were using shams, and I thought I might as well use a sham as another. I borrowed the money to go to Calais from a friend, and am not obliged to give his name. Suppose it was from "my uncle." Being pressed on this point, the witness said he would not answer. Being directed to do so by the Bench, he said it was " a Mr. Nunn, a clerk in the City living in West bourne-square." Mr. Gifford—When first, if ever, did you have any con versation with personsconnected with the United States of America. The witness fenced with this question, and the evasive answer which he returned was taken down. The question being repeated, he said he had been in constant communica tion with the authorities of the United States since 1853; the nature of his business was such as to require it. He was not connected with the United States Consul, or any of the American authorities, when be went on his mis sion to Sheerness. He went simply as a shipper of seamen for American ships, and not in any way in relation to a sup posed equipping of a Confederate ship. First got into com• munication with the members of her Majesty's Government on that day fortnight. Mr. Knight sent for him on that day. A telegraphic message reached him in the West India Dock. Would not swear from whom the message came. Still carried on the business of a tailor, as well as that of shipping-master at his home, 41, Smith-street, Mile-end road, Siopnoy. The prosecution closed at this point, and Mr. Giffard addressed the Bench for the defence, contend ing that no infringement of the Foreign Enlistment Act had been committed by his client, and on the contrary that all at tempts to fix him with a guilty intention had failed. His learned friend conveniently overlooked the fact that the Government had sold the vessel to the very parties to whom Mr. Rumble, in perfect good faith, was giving such slight assistance as was habitually afforded in every one of the great shipping ports. And it must be borne in mind that everything done towards getting out the vessel prior to her departure from Sheerness was done under the eyes of all the Government officials in the dockyard. After the vessel reached France it had, indeed, been shown that Mr. Rumble still took an interest in her ; but this was intelligible as soon as it was mentioned that, from considerations of per sonal friendship towards the owner of the Scylla, Mr. Rumble bad become guarantee for the payment of trades men in Sheerness, with whom that owner had been deal ing. His object in proceeding to Calais was simply to pro cure the money for which he had thus made himself liable. At the outside all that could be entertained against his clientwas suspicion,and he asked the bench to set egainst con siderations of that nature the high reputation Mr. Rumble had always maintained. Mr. RumLle read an explanatory statement of the circum stances involved in his connexion with the Scylla ; and ex . pressly contradicted many statements of the witness for the prosecution, more particularly those made by Coliolly. After a few minutes consultation in their own room, the Chairman announced the decisiyn of the Bench, which was to send the case for trial. At the request of Mr. Giffard, who pointed out that the requisite power existed under the 4th section of the Act, their Worships committed the defendant for trial before the Court of Queen's Bench. Bail was again accepted in the same amount as before. The proceedings lasted till a very late hour. IRISH CHURCH MISSIONS. (From the Irish Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph.) DUBLIN, Jan. 25. The Society for Church Missions in Ireland has met with a damaging exposure. The Rev. George Webster, rector of St. Nicholas, Cork, and chancellor of the diocese, in a lec ture which he delivered in his church, charged the society with " bribing its supposed converts." A correspondence ensued between him and the Rev. H. C. Eade, the secretary of the society, which throws much light on the way converts are made in Ireland. " The terrible fact," says Mr. 'Webster, addressing Mr. Eade, "with which you have to grapple is, that under your society a Roman Catholic child receives his bed and breakfast—he is housed and clothed—on the express condition that he listens to Protestant teaching, and attends a Protestant place of worship." Mr. Eade's reply is worthy of Jacobar or Sanchez, or any casuist of the Sorbonne : " The attraction lies in the teaching, and not in the food"—a remark which every ono acquainted with the comparative affection which children manifest for their catechism and their breakfast will appreciate. He also admits that in some cases the children " believed at first they were doing wrong"—m other words, the heresy was swallowed with the viands provided, and the integrity of the child was destroyed in the effort to save its soul through its stomach. Mr. Webster observes upon this that it is wholly unworthy of Protestantism to make the poverty of the Roman Catholics an occasion for outbidding or over reaching the heads of the Roman Catholic Church—and therefore " as long as you tempt Roman Catholics, by a re gular fixed system of relief, to prefer the interests of this world to the interests of the world to come, so long must I feel myself bound to make every protest in my power against the Irish Church Mission Society." He then notices the speech of the Bishop of Oxford, and expresses his sor row to find that his lordship was misinformed. Ho would see cause to change his mind if he was acquainted with the facts which he Mr. 'Webster, and many other clergymen could have furnished. He was deeply grieved to see that many other Englishman had fallen into the same mistake, and had taken up the notion that the Irish Church Mission is really doing a good work in Ireland. His only comfort was, that so much of the machinery of this society is worked by Engl , shmen, that when in a few years they discover the mischief they have done, and the very imperfect grounds upon which they continue to believe they were working with success, they will not have to charge the Irish clergy with being the cause of their mistake. Mr. Webster then proceeds to make the following startling discourses :—" If it were necessary, I could give instances where the ordained agents of the Irish Chutcb missions paid Protestants to pretend they were Roman Cath olics at y our controversial meetings, and at these meetings to call those very ordained agents the hardest names. I could tell you of a school of which it was reported that there were eighty Roman Catholics in attend ance, when the fact was, not a single Roman Catholic ever entered the place, except some five or ish six wro tched children who were sent fr om Dublin by the Ir Chur ch Mission Society. I could tell you of a scene I once witnessed at the same establishment, where on a Sunday picrp,44 l - largo quantities of bread were given to Roman PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. Catholics for learning a verse of Holy Scripture, and where these same people went away cursing the Protestants, and cursing the very persons who gave them bread and taught them the verse. I could tell you of agents who were known to be charged with drunkenness and other vices, who entered in their report that they were persecuted when they merely got into broils in their drunkenness, and will were, in spite of the remonstrances of the parish clergyman, retained in their offices. I could tell you of a report made by one ordained agent that he had made fourteen convicts from komanisru in a certain locality, and who had to acknow ledge, when I inquired closely into the matter, that these fourteen persons did not belong at all to that locality ; that they had been brought there by this agent himself from distant places, and lodged in a school-house, and then represented as converts from the locality, where they bad been supported for a few weeks. These and many other facts I could repeat; and there are multitudes of clergymen in Ireland who are able to bear similar testimony from their own experience. But I should prefer to confine our present controversy to the one grand objection—the charge of what I must call bribery ; which I define to be the giving of any temporary relief to our fellow-creature for the purpose of tempting him to do what his conscience condemns." Mr. Webster then proceeds to observe that multitudes of the supporters of the society in England would never, he was quite sure, give their money for the purpose of bribery ; and that it may be for this reason the society is so careful to inform the English people that all the money collected in England is devoted to the " missionary " part of the work. "Be this as it may," he adds, "it is a remarkable fact that the society loses no opportunity of declaring that not one shilling of the money collected in England is devoted to the purchase of food or clothes ;' but nearly all the money collected in Ireland is devoted to this purpose;" and he concludes by truly observing, "In the long run I believe it will bo discovered that the Irish Church Mission Society has done irreparable mischief to the Church in Ire land." These are bold and sweeping statements, certainly; and coming from such a respectable and well-informed quar ter, will have immense weight if they cannot be clearly and unquestionably refuted—which I doubt. The Chancellor of Cork is not a man to make such charges lightly, and his exposures must, in any case, do a large amount of good. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—Ten years ago the Holy Alliance, which had through many changes and calamities main tained the political system of Central Europe, was finally broaght to an end by an Austrian army marching into the Danubian Principalities to take the place of the Russians, who had entered so triumphantly a few months before, and were then retiring in ignominy and humiliation. The most powerful and dreaded Sovereign in the world had made the capital blunder of his life, a blunder which, even if he had lived, he could probably never have repaired. The greatest revolution, in our time, in the international relations of the European States was caused by the pretension of the Emperor Nicho las, in the fulness of his power, to take "a material guarantee" for the performance of engagements said to have been made by the Porte. A little matter, one out of the many quarrels about the Holy Places, led to events of which we are still feeling tee effects. The love of peace, the respect due to a great Power, which in former times had made great sacrifices in the cause of European liberty, did not prevent this country from taking up arms in a dispute in which we were originally in no way concerned, because Russia had committed the unheard-of violence of of seizing a province in order to further a negotia tion. What the late Czar did then Prussia and Austria are doing now. They are marching their troops to invade Schleswig, over which they have no rights, which does not form part of the Ger man Confederation, because Denmark is supposed to have made a breach of engagements entered into by her in 1851. In other words, they are about to seize Schleswig, and hold it until the Danish Government promises to govern it in the manner which they think fitting, Such a proceed ing is even more reprehensible than the worst act of the late Emperor of Russia's reign, for he claimed, and really possessed by treaty, a Protectorate over Alolde-Wallachia, and he had formerly asserted the very same right of military occupation which was contested at this time. It is, therefore, to be . hoped that, in spite of their threats and the madness of their subjects, the Rulers of Prussia and Austria will hesitate before shedding blood in this unjust enterprise. When the act is ozca done it can not be recalled. When the lines of the D Anne werk are once attacked, it may be Impostable to ckeck the impulses which are urging on all parties to a calami tous war. The brains of the Germans will be hotter when once shots have been exchanged, and though the soldiers of the two leading Powers are generally kept well in hand, and are less likely to assert their own will than the troops of countries with less sense of responsibility, yet no one can say what may be the effect on the invading armies or a battle, whether lost or won. A victory which should drive the Danes from their position might be followed by a military outcry for the confiscation of the Duchies as loud as that which rings through the political and civilian world of Germany. It can hardly be doubted that the Pretender would transfer himself from the :Holstein territory to Schleswig, or to Flensburg, or to wherever the allied troops had penetrated, and would there, "es a private indi vidual," work his system of agitation among the people of the Northern Duchies by means of parti sans as able as those who have provisionally given him a throne in Holstein. We do not doubt the resolution of both Sovereigns to be masters in their dotniniens. The King of Prussia has proved his own by prorogping the Prussian Chambers, and the Emperor of Austria will probably find an ally in the non-German element in his States and Legisla- ture, and thus control the enthusiasm of Vienna. But if the war party have gone so far in their de monstrations at present, what would they not do if a real German victory had been won for the first time for 50 years? Nations whose military history is not crowded with events are naturally much ex cited by even such a success as 40,000 Austrians and Prussians might gain over half their number of Danes; and we may fairly presume that a victory would render almost impossible the programme of the two Governments themselves, as stated by M. von Bismark. Prussia and Austria have laid it down that a dynastic union between the Duchies and the Kingdom, analogous to the union between Norway and Sweden, is a settlement which will satisfy them, that it was all that they wanted in 1851, and exactly what they thought had been eonceded when they signed the treaty of 1852. He must, however, be very credulous who believes that if the Danes should be driven out of Schleswig by force of arms, the German people would see the two Dachies restored to King Christian without a com motion that would bring back to us the memories of 1848. If, then, the Sovereigns wish to govern their own dominions in peace, they will avoid ex citing German ambition by the novel sensation of victory. It need hardly be said that defeat would be still more dangerous. Suppose, what is quite possible, that the Austro-Prussian army is repulsed from before the Danish works, the pulse of every nation would beat faster under the influence of the most exciting news that can be told to them—the successful resistance of a small army to the forces of two great and plainly aggressive powers. Defeat would of course rouse the Germans even more than success, and it would be impossible for the two Sovereigns to retreat without having taken a strik ing revenge for their humiliation. But the states men of the two powers may be invited to reflect on what would be the feeling among their neighbours East and West if this contest were to be prolonged, if the Danes were to hold their own week after week, while fresh trcops were being sent forward from Gee many to crush them by main force. Let not the Germans be too sure that all the great powers would stand tamely by in such a case. And even if the allies are allowed to finish successfully the war which they have begun unjustly, they may be sure that the advantages of wrongdoing will not be unmixed with disaster. The war of aggression, carried on by the two powers against the wishes of all other nations, will assuredly be the beginning of new changes in Europe. It often happens in suc h cases that the weight of the punishment fallsonthe less guilty of the a ccom p lices. We do not pretend to apportion the blame between the two powers which are now doing t his evil of di sturbing the Con• tinent, but so far as can be judged from ap earanies Austria is less in fault than Prussia. a 'Vienna _C Government has been less vacillating and less openly contemptuousof right.

With so powerful en army the Italians may do g r ea t things; with so eapensive an army they must b fore long do something. 'There were rumours of probable movements this year even before the King of Denmark died, or any one thought that the ene mies of Austria would receive from herself so fair an opportunity. It is hardly likely that the designs which these enemies cherished when there was the great obstacle of perfect European quiet against them will be abandoned now that the imprudence of the Viennese Government gives them occasion and, pretext, and, moreover, takes away part of the Austrian army to the extreme north of Europe. Everywhere that Austria has a foe there is es pee ttv ion and an evident longing that she should atteek the Dines, Everywhere that revolutionists con gregate there is an idea that this enterprise v, ill further their plans. Can there he a better reason t hat a Government so much threatened should pause and reflect? DAILY NEWs.—lt is important at the present crisis, and indeed essential to any satisfactory solu tion of the difficulty, that the clemend of the Ger man Powers on Denmark should be looked at broad!y is the light of reason and justice, and its real bear ing and obvious issues examined according to the principles of common equity and common sense. Hitherto there has been on all sides an immense amount of prolix and unprofitable discussion as to the precise interpretation of certain phrases in the friendly and informal correspondence which took. place between Denmark and Germany twelve years ago. Bat, however these verbal questions may be decided, the broad fact remains, that at that period the German Powers regarded the restoration of the Provincial Estates of Schleswig, and the en largement of their powers, as a complete and satis factory fulfilment of the royal promise not to incor porate the Duchy with the Kingdom. So far from a common Constitution having been then regarded as any violation or infringement of this pledge, it is notorious that in tha very document containing this engagement with regard to Schleswig, the King pledged himself to promulgate such a Constitution as soon as possible. The Royal Proclamation of January the 28th, 1852, contained in outline the scheme of a common Constitution, or central legis lative organ for the entire monarchs-, and this scheme was accepted by the German Powers and the Diet as perfectly legitimate and satisfactory. They reoognised the power of providing such a Con stitution as one of the essential rights of a sovereign Stote, and the Diet accepted the proposed scheme, so far as its competence extended, as being "in con formity with the laws and rights of the Confedera tion." The Danish Government accordingly matured and promulgated it, in accordance with the terms of the Royal promise. This Constitution established a central organ or general legislative assembly for the whole monarchy, based upon the equal repre sentation of all its parts, according to the ratio of population and taxation. No sooner, however, had this Constitution come into operation than the Diet demanded its abrogation, so far as the German Duchies were concerned, on the ground that all its provisions had not been submitted to the decision of the Provincial Estates: The Danish Government protested against the legality of this demand, and pointed out the impreeticabili.ty of meeting the requirement on which it was founded. The Estates of Holstein, on being appealed to, con firmed this representation of the Danish Govern ment by denouncing every scheme of a common constitution as incompatible with the definitive rights of the German Duchies. Eventually, under a threat of Federal execution, the constitution was withdrawn as far as Holstein and Lauenburg were concerned. It still, however, remained in force beyond the limits of Federal territory, being esta blished as a constitutional law in Schleswig and. Denmark Proper. At this point the Diet interfered again, demanding that there should be no legis lation in common affairs before the Danish Govern ment had come to a decision with regard to the future position of the German Duchies in the monarchy. Under these circumstances, the only course that remained for the Danish Government was to bestow complete provincial autonomy on Holstein and Lauenburg, and provide for the effec tive working of the common constitution in the Danish portions of the monarchy. 1 his latter object is precisely what was secured by the November Con stitution. It seems clear, therefore, that if the common constitution conflicts in any way with the royal promise, this is due not to the action of the Danish Government, but to the action of the German Powers and the Diet. The Danish Government having done its utmost to fulfil its engagements to the letter appears to have been per sistently thwarted at every step by the paralysing action of the Diet. It is essential that the demand now made by the German Powers should be looked at broadly in the light of these facts, in order that its real character and bearing may be clearly under stood. It is especially incumbent on statesmen who arc concerned for the preservation not only of the peace, but of the public rights of Europe as a system of independent States, to look t hrough all superficial pleas and pretexts to the real grounds and actual issues of such a requirement. The demand now made by the German Powers denies to Denmark the right of uniting the purely Danish portions of the monarchy in a central representative assembly for legislation in common affairs, and if successful would inevitably destroy all possibility of united. action, or indeed of any legislative action at all, on behaif of common national objects. Now it scarce;y need be said that the liberty of securing such united action is for Denmark not only a fun damental right, but a paramount political neces sity, absolutely essential to her existence as an independent State. There are a number of ques tions, such as the administration of the finances, the army and navy, the tariffs of the country, the foreign-office, which are of necessity common to the Danish portions of the monarchy, and which in a constitutional country can only, therefore, be pro perly decided by a common legislative assembly. The persistent intervention of the Diet in questions affecting the German Duchies bas paralysed all effective constitutional action in the purely Danish portions of the monarchy for nearly seven years past. Measures of financial zeform, including tariff changes designed to stimulate the commerce and develop the resources of the country, have long since been prepared, and only await the settlement of the dispute with the Diet to be submitted to the com mon assembly and adopted as law. At length the time for the revived po itical action of the Danish State appeared to have arrived. The German Duchies being virtually abandoned to the Confede ration, it was possible to resume political and legis lative action for the Danish portion of the monarchy. At this point the German Powers step in, and de mand that the political and legislative paralysis of the last few years shall be made the chronic and permanent condition of the Danish State. Stripped of all disguise this demand amounts to a claim on the part of the German Powers to break up the Danish monarchy ; and it is hardly surprising, therefore, that the Danes should resolve on resist• anise, and be prepared to entertain very extreme alternatives before quietly surrendering their terri torial integrity and political independence.

Observe the Red Seal, Pink Label, and Cork branded "Kinahan's LL Whisky." Alleged Breach of the Foreign Enlistment Act. Yesterday the magistrates of the Sittingbourne Petty Sessions were occupied doting the entire day in investigat ing charges preferred by the Crown against Mr,W, Rumble, engineering inspector of machinery at her Majesty's dock yard of Sheerness. These charges were twofold, and alleged distinct breaches of the Foreign Enlistment Act—first, in having, without leave of the Crown, fitted out, or procured to be fitted out, a ship called the Victor, otherwise the Scylla, otherwise the Rappahannock, with intent and in order that she might be employed in the service of the Con federate States of America and their subjects to cruise and commit hostilities against the United States of America, with whom her Majesty was at peace; and secondly, in hir ing or procuring divers persona to enlist in the service of the Confederate States. The presiding magistrates were the Rev. G. B. Moore, Mr. E. Twopenny, and Col. J. Dixon Dyke, and the protracted nature of the inquiry may be gathered from the fact that, although the Court sat at 11 o'clock, the defence was not opened until past 6 o'clock p.m. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. W. Vernon Har court, instructed by Metiers. Essell, Knight, and Arnold, of Rochester; Mr. Hardinge Giffard, with Messrs. Harris and Lewis, solicitors, appeared for the defendant, who after his arrest had been admitted to bail, himself in £5OO and two sureties in £250 each. Mr. Harcourt, in opening the case on the part of the Crown, said this serious and painful prosecution was insti • tuted in accordance with the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act, unhappily too notorious in the present day. Having read the preamble of that Act, the sec tions under which the charges were laid, and that con ferring on the magistrates power to deal with the offence, the learned counsel said the gravity of the accusation against Mr. Rumble lay in the fact that he was not merely one of the individuals falling within the meaning the Act, but a person whose position should have prevented him, above all others, from violating the statute. It would appear that in the latter part of 1863 a vessel no longer suitable for her Majesty's service, called the Victor, was sold by the Go vernment, under circumstances into which it was unneces sary to enter, to merchants of the city of London named Coleman and Pearson. After the sale some repairs and alterations of a prima facie innocent character were effected in the dockyard at Sheerness, in effecting which Mr. Rumble took a leading part ; but matters subsequently occurred which showed that if not from the commencement of those works, at all even! s from a very early period, he must have been aware of the purpose to which it was intended to put the vessel. Being in a condition quite unfit to go to sea, suddenly, on the night of the 24th of November, the ves sel, which had been renamed at Scylla, sailed from Sheer ness, and either at the Nore or somewhere before she reached Calais that name was painted out, and a new one --the Rap pahannock—substituted. The captain and officers declared the ship to be a Confederate man-of-war, and invited those On board to sign articles. What did they next find Mr- Rumble doing ? Actually going over to Calais, showing himself in constant communication with the parties on board the Rappahannock, and engaging men to go out from Eng land to serve in various capacities in that vessel I Under such circumstances it was obvious that the Crown could take no other course than to submit the transaction to the most searching investigation. The prisoner was a gentleman oc cupying a position of the highest respectability and impor tance,one which enabled him to compromise the character of the Government and the honour of the nation ; and assuming the facts which he had stated to be true, the Government and the nation, if they did not take the most active steps to detect and punish the guilty party, would expose themselves to the imputation of a fraudulent neutrality, which every civi lised nation justly resented. It would be sufficiently to be de precated if merchants for the sake of gain attempted to de feat the law; but a man holding an official position under Government, and availing himself of that position to defeat the enactment, was more highly censurable, for he endan• gored the peace and welfare of the country. It the charges were true, this was the case of a man bearing the Queen's commission and yetengaging in transactions grossly violating his allegiance and injuring the nation of which ho was a citizen, Evidence to the following effect was then given : Thomas Firth, a holder-up in Woolwich factory, deposed that while the Scylla was lying at Sheerness in the latter part of 1863 he was engaged as storekeeper on board. Mr. Rumble paid him ls. wages for the first week, and said the men at work upon her were to have £1 ls. a week and their provisions as long as the vessel lay there. He desired that if anything were short he should be applied to, and on witness tolling him that there was a cask of oil short Mr. Rumble made an entry in his pocketbook. On the day the Scylla left Sheerness witness was called into the cabin by Mr. Ferguson, acting as chief engineer of the vessel, and in presence of the defendant Mr. Ferguson asked him to sign the ship's articles, saying that witness was to have £7 a month, and the other firemen M. Mr. Rumble asked which way the witness would like to have his money sent home, and he replied that he should like to handle it him self, asking at the same time for money to buy a shirt, as he had nothing but:what he stood upright in. From Sheer , ness the ship went to Calais. He did not see anything lying till the day after they arrived there; it was the Con federate flag—a flag with 13 stars. Witness remained on board five days after her arrival, and then left because he did not like the vessel. (Laughter.) Alfred Stephenson Ginno, of Woolwich, deposed that the day or day but one alter ho went on board the Scylla Mr. Rumble asked Mr. Carr " What men are these ?" pointing to witness and Friends, a man now aboard the ship. Being told that they were seamen, and had formerly been in the Australian trade, Mr. Rumble asked whether they were '• willing to join the Scylla, of London." Replying in the affirmative, they were told to go on with their work. Mr. Rumble paid him one week's wages, During the voyage to Calais, early on Thursday morning, a flag was hoisted, which he was told was the Confederate flag ; but it waa only a makeshift, prepared on board the ship. Mr. Harcourt proposed to ask the witness what was said by Mr. Ramsay, the acting captain of the ship at the time the flag was hoisted, with a view of establishing the nation ality and character of the vessel. Mr. Giffard objected. Words taking the form of acts, such as the hailing of another vessel and commanding her to strike, would be clearly admissible ; and his learned friend was trying to get out a mere conversation between persons on board the vessel. Mr. Harcourt replied that a formal declaration of the captain was an act of the same import as hoisting the Con federate flag, which without such a declaration might have been an unauthorised accidental occurrence. At the suggestion of the Bench the form of the question was altered, and the witness replied that no declaration was made by Capt. Ramsay to the crew at the time when the flag;was actually hoisted; but there was such a declaration while the flag was being made. It was very hot below, and witness came out of the stokehole for a blow, and saw the captain on his knees along with some sailmakers, who were cutting out a piece of bunting. Looking up at the witness, Capt. Ramsay said, " I am going to give you a flag and a new name. I won't disgrace you. I will give her a classical name." Duty called witness away then, and, re turning some time afterwards, he said to the captain, " I beg your pardon, sir, what name has the ship got now ?" (Laughter.) Capt. Ramsay desired him to tell anybody below who might ask the question that the name was the " Rapper-annock," and that she was a Confederate man-of war. The vessel sailed from Sheerness on Tuesday night, arrived in Calais on. Thursday morning, and witness re mained on board till the following Tuesday. During the time she flew the Confederate ensign and pennant—a fresh one, not the one hoisted at sea. The ship's officers wore a gray uniform and glazed caps. James Hurford, of Woolwich, labourer, who had been employed on board the Scylla as chief stoker, deposd that he was paid two weeks' wages by the defendant. Captain Campbell was in command at Calais while he remained on board. Could not tell the difference between the Federal and Confederate flags. In cress-examination, the witness said that Mr. Rumble, when paying him his wages, mentionod that the owner was away, and had requested him to do so. James Brooks, leading fireman in the Scylla, at Sheerness, last November, deposed that he was paid wages by a gentle man whom he only saw once. Ramsay might be the gentle man's name, or it might not. The other gentleman stood by the companion ladder, and put the money in his hand. He looked at, the money more closely than he did at the gentleman. Saw a gentleman at Calais opposite the station, had a conversation with him, but had not seen him since. Could not swear that the gentleman was not in the room at that moment; but did not see him. The witness was cautioned by the Bench as to the monner in which he was giving his evidence; and being requested to see whether the gentleman he alluded to was then in the room, he looked slowly and carefully round, apparently avoiding the quarter where defendant sat. On a further scrutiny he at last said he thought he saw a gentleman in the room whom he had seen in Calais ; that gentleman was the defendant, but he could not swear positively. Mr. Harcourt proposed to ask the nature of the conversa tion at Calais. Mr. Giffard, however, said the identity of the gentleman must first be clearly established. While this objection was being discussed, the witness was --'444-t. EXMIANGE, LONDON. ROBT. P. STEELE, Secretary.
